We arrived at Somar Surfcamp thinking that it actually was a surfcamp, but it had nothing to do with it. They only had one surfboard there when we came, but we wanted to rent 3. Neither could they tell us anything about the spot. After a long while they managed to organize 2 more boards which were not at all...

Dearest guest,
We appreciate your feedback; we apologize for the inconveniences you faced during your stay.
The day you arrived, we only had one board because unfortunately the other boards had been damaged. Since then, the boards have been repaired and we are fully stocked with different styles and sizes.
In regards to the fees charged, it is stated on...

Really good place to have some rest on the beach, There is nothing much around so if you are lloking for some rest its the best place. The food they cook is just amazing. Best food I have ate in all Nicaragua. Really kind family own that place. Room are really clean. I recommend

I had suddenly been elected as tour leader of a group of 24 people, and found Somar on hotels.com. The rooms were among the cheapest on the beach so we went for it.
I booked what I thought to be enough rooms, and we set off for Salinas Grandes.
When we arrived, Diego, the project manager, seemed confused for two...

This place is absolutely worth visiting. The location is increadible, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is amazing! The rooms are nice and charming and have their own bathrooms, and the food is very good! Definitely a place I am going back to!

Excellent hosts! Very personable and accommodating. They welcomed us to come early before the room became available. We napped in the hammocks and enjoyed the swimming pool. The kitchen serves delicious and healthy food, breakfast, lunch and dinner, prepared by doña Juanita. Weather was great and covered porch areas provided shaded areas. Paco the parrot and the dogs, Orus and...

I went there with my family for the day on a Sunday. We would have stayed for the night, if I didn't have to go to work the next day. The place is amazing and it has a jacuzzi right next to the beach. We got in it at the end of the day to watch the sunset relaxing in...

The beach is absolutely deserted, and the waves are awesome/big. The kitchen was attentively on-call to turn out Gallo Pinto, a variety of foods, and drinks for the few guests that were there. We spent our time resting in hammocks, in the pool, and getting great sleep in clean, air-conditioned rooms. This place would be a great get-away from Leon,...

On recommendation of friends in the area we stayed here an were truly disappointed. Rooms were nice. Location just ok, nothing close by to get supplies or walk to see. Which made it hard to find the food supplies we needed to purchase in order to have the staff prepare for us.
There was nothing available from the menu and...

We appreciate your feedback; we apologize for the inconveniences you faced during your stay. We understand how challenging it is to get supplies to the rural areas of Leon, Nicaragua. We apologize you experiences this during you time with us. We have since upgraded the kitchen supplies and added new talented kitchen staff.
We hope you give Somar Lodge another...

The service, the atmosphere, and the location make this place a dream. The food is great, the waves are perfect. Since I left I have been dreaming of going back.
14 Km of beach to surf run swim scream or do whatever you want.

I recently stayed at Somar Lodge for about 3 weeks while doing some business in the area. The owners are wonderful people and went above and beyond any expectations. Assistance with logistics and helping with the language was very appreciated. The facilities are good and will be getting even better soon as the lodge continues to develop. The pool is...

We love sharing our Lodge with surf lovers who enjoy virgin beaches and spectacular waves. We enjoyed the practice of a responsible tourism in our wildlife refuge. You can make use of the common areas of the property, such as restaurant, ranchos, hammocks, beach chairs and parking, you can also rent a Surfboard! The Beach Break is fun when there is wind in the sea. For beginners this is perfect, because the waves are fast and large, you can swimming with Pelicans or you can relax from the pool while you enjoy watching surfing activity.
You can enjoy the area of the nature reserve, Isla Juan Venado!
We are located in the opposite side to the sea, on the beach Salinas Grandes. The beach is 12 kms of coast and completely clean. There are spots for beginners and for intermediate / advanced surfers. This nature reserve is surrounded by different birds, pure nature and warm water waves just for you!
We have 6 cabins rustic decorated with local materials. There is private and shared bathroom in our property. You can choose to sleep in double beds, twin bed and bunk beds. In the rooms includes air conditioning or a fan. In the rooms with air conditioning the breakfast is included....more less
